Cruel Alpha by Rachel Jonas

 There is a warning for 18+ for this book. For certain scenes that are inappropriate for teens. Parents if you are in doubt I always read the book first before letting my kids read them. That being said this book is hot!!! Annalise is a snarky, dominant, independent, wolf shifter who wants to change women's rights within her clan. She despises being told what to wear, who to mate, what she will do with her life, & being treated like a piece of property. She's been writing letters to the Alpha for quite awhile trying to get him to change things for women. Annalise is actually of noble birth & her parents died making her aunt & uncle her guardians. The aunt & uncle have tried several times to get her mated but for some reason they never worked out. When she gets invited to the Alpha's estate she automatically thinks he wants to discuss her changes to the women's way of life. When she gets to the Alpha she doesn't understand why he doesn't speak. He just keeps staring at her chest. She decides to take charge & starts talking. 

Alpha Caspian is surprised to learn that Annalise's aunt & uncle didn't tell her why she was invited here. He has to break the news to her that her family can't afford to survive without selling her to the Alpha. Annalise doesn't believe it. After they talk some more it sinks in. She immediately hates Caspian because she doesn't want to have a love less mate. She wants to choose her mate because she fell in love with him. Annalise feels trapped so she comes up with half a plan. Caspian expected her to stay there immediately. Annalise convinces him to let her have one more night at home. When she gets home she packs a bag & runs. She has trouble figuring out where to go. Let's just say that Caspian isn't as dumb as she thought! As punishment she is put in a cell for a week. Until she learns to act the way he wants her to. 

Over time hate turns into love as they learn more about each other. They start doing things for each other. And learn to navigate a relationship with honesty, jealousy, anger, & someone plotting against them. By the way Caspian is my new book boyfriend. He is so hot!
